Chapter 86: A Bet

Since Corey became a stupid pathetic drunkard, Arnold had hated his brother. This hatred only became intense after hearing that he had joined a robbery gang which was rumored that he recently became the leader.

What's worse? Since Corey left home, he had never cared to come for a visit, ignoring his family for some selfish gains.

Now, Arnold only wished he could call on the police and sponsor the search to find him...

Truth be told, it felt like he wouldn't care if he was sent to jail!

However...

There was no way he could do that and remain fine. The brotherly love he had kept hunting him down, forcing him not to do what his flesh really wanted. In the end, he would just sit back and watch...

"He shouldn't dare to run to me crying for help when things come crushing on him," Arnold said with a dark face.

Then, he walked back to his room.

[You look ugly while you frown. Common, don't let this ruin your day.]

Honestly, Arnold wasn't expecting this from his Advocate... His mind was far from its side, but it had suddenly intervened, although for only that moment.

Arnold invited Mark and Lila to his room that day, and they decided to see a Slamdown pay-per-view show, "Hell on Earth." This was a pay-per-view event where every match was fought inside a steel cage.

However, not only by pinning an opponent to the count of three can one win the match, they could choose to escape the cage by following the top or even managing to go through the actual exit door.

Arnold was familiar with this kind of match, but he hadn't gotten to watch them often... Today, he was mostly interested in learning some strategies rather than enjoying the excitement it might bring.

Mark and Lila's enthusiasm showed that they were only interested in watching the strikes and seeing who would win.

It was the main event of the show, and it was Jay D, the URW Universal champion, versus Andrew Jack, a giant African who had won the title once since he entered the top shows... If he defeats the Canadian, it would be the second time he was becoming the Universal champion, with Jay D losing his third Universal Championship Title reign.

Mark and Arnold both decided to watch while sitting on the couch, while Lila preferred to lie on the tiled, cold floor.

The entire stadium in use of the pay-per-view was bustling madly as the match was about to begin. These were some of the best wrestlers in the locker room of the Slamdown Men's Division, making Mark and Lila see them as idols.

Although Arnold admired their potential, he was only feeling a different way from his friends.

"Mark, Arnold, tell me. Who do you think would win?" Lila couldn't help but ask, turning to her friends.

"Jay D for sure! That giant guy wouldn't be able to chase him up to the top if he tried to escape," Mark said confidently.

"Arnold?" Lila then focused her gaze on Arnold.

"Who's your pick?" She added.

At that moment, Arnold had pondering to determine who he would go for... It was true that it was going to be difficult for Andrew Jack to climb to the top of the cage or attempt to catch him off before even reaching the extreme, there was still a possible case of Andrew Jack Choke-slamming or delivering his Jackhammer finisher, getting out from the actual exit right after.

To Arnold, it only depended on one's sensitivity and attentiveness, which Mark unfortunately couldn't understand.

He was just too fast with his prediction, which Arnold quite disappointed.

Is response took too long, but that didn't piss Lila off having accepted that it was quite sensitive to ponder before giving a prediction.

"I think Andrew Jack has a higher chance of winning, for me... He would always gain the upper hand if he is smart enough, and even win without much stress," Arnold gave his own prediction, which made Lila scoff.

"Do you know who Jay D is? His undefeated title match streak had been ongoing for a year and five months, yet he wouldn't lose. He is one my favorite fighter; I love his way of fighting, just like Max Fury," Mark said confidently, regardless of the cold stares thrown by Nia.

"I also support, Andrew Jack," Lila joined Arnold's sudden support team, leaving Mark with nothing to say.

Although he still stood his ground, he was sad that Lila was against his prediction. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Because Max choose Andrew right? Well, I see the both of you are going to lose."

Mark tried to tease them. However, he was actually the one being mocked deep inside.

"Let's place a bet then. If Jay D wins, I and Arnold would have to give you fifty dollars. But if Andrew wins, you will have to give up fifty dollars each?" Lila spoke.

"Accepted..." Mark quickly brought out a fifty-dollar note from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Arnold and Lila exchanged some weird glances and dropped theirs as well.

Soon, the match began.

Andrew wasn't fat; he was just a tall guy who had a good addition to his size, a clear description of Super Strowman, a WWE hall of famer back then.

Meanwhile, Jay D is just an average-height young man who is skillful yet strong. While Andrew possessed incredible natural power, he was smart and skillful.

Well, it wasn't as if Andrew was foolish either.

The match started with Andrew delivering several punches against the champion, every strike causing him a hard fall. However, the challenger would pull him up, only to punch him back to the mat.

While Jay D was already in a circle of unconsciousness, Andrew raised him with just his arm with a hard grip on his neck. Thereafter, a Choke Slam was delivered.

The fans were cheering at the top of their lungs at that moment, with Arnold enjoying and studying what Andrew was doing to the champion.

It was when he made a successful Jackhammer finisher that Mark panicked...

"Oh shit!"

It was so hopeless at that moment tho, though Andrew Jack had already pinned Jay D for a count.

In the next few moments, someone out of the three of them placed his hands on his head in shame and regret...

Just like he always did.
